Special sowing instructions: Use a shallow container with 1"-2" of potting soil. Sow seeds in a single layer, and cover with 1/8"-1/4" of soil.

Harvesting: When seedlings emerge, the first pair of leaves to show are the cotyledons, which can look very different from the leaves that follow, called "true" leaves. Kale baby greens are ready to harvest 25 to 30 days after sowing, when they have true leaves at 2"?4". Cool growing temperatures may slow germination and growth. Harvest by cutting just above the soil line.
